Creating our Marketing Campaign for One Laptop Per Class Campaign
We need to make at least 200 paper airplanes to release into atrium on Thu Dec 10th during club hours. Please use the Nick's Plane design in the video or your best version otherwise.
For more on the design visit: http://www.paperairplanes.co.uk/nickplan.php
This paper airplane is a superb glider it is very well balanced indeed even when made by the most inexperienced child. It can be quickly made from a sheet of A4 paper and I really like it. I drew this page up and placed it on the internet within a day of learning to make this paper airplane.

Jane Elliot's A Class Divided (Frontline Doc)
Originally posted 10/5/07 12:17 PM
If you missed class or want to see the video we watched in class, here it is. I posed that WORDS create WORLDS and that Jane Elliot's experiment with her third grade class shown in this documentary gives you a etic view of how this works around discrimination.
You should watch parts 1 and 2 on YouTube.
What were your thoughts?
PS Also here is the link to the Opinion in The Ticker on "Exclusive Diversity" at Baruch College published 9/24/07 by several editors on staff.

Race & Racism in Brazil

After we read Jeffrey Fish's essay on race in Brazil titled MIXED BLOOD in the Conformity & Conflict textbook (McCurdy & Spradley), you could be left thinking racism doesn't exist in Brazil. This video paints another picture.

The Leech and the Earthworm

Marc Silver directed a documentary about indigneous people's views on genetic engineering. This is the title sequence based on a folktale. What do you think about the emic vs. etic view of such a tale? What assumptions come up for the outsider who is white, from a colonial nation, from the US, or for the native Australian seeing this tale in a film for the first time?
Check out Marc's cool website.
